Wee Scot Best Badger Shave Brush 70mm shave brush by Simpson

I travel a fair bit and this brush has been with me on every trip since I’ve gotten it. It’s extremely small — like completely conceal it in your fist small — so if that’s not large enough for your taste, look for something else. Look at the product dimensions before making any purchase.I personally don’t have issue with the size. It makes it much easier to store and throw into a toiletry case, and the badger hair absorbs plenty of water and lathers great. It’ll take more strokes to cover as much ground as say, a 26mm brush, but considering how much the hairs splay on this, the difference isn’t much. If anything, I make way less of a mess with this and don’t end up with lather on my earlobes.There’s decent backbone but it does splay enough to cover a reasonably wide area. The hairs are a tad bit scratchier than a nice silvertip brush (I’m comparing to ones that run upwards of $100), but it’s leagues ahead of the lower quality badger hair brushes (~$30) in the same price range. This is much softer and holds much more water. There was a bit of a badger smell when it arrived, but that went away after a shave or two.Considering the tiny size alone, late $30 range is a lot to put down, BUT because of the nice quality and portability, I find this to be a reasonable purchase. Between this brush and a regular-sized best badger of the same price, I’m more likely to use this one on a daily basis.Bottom line: Get this if you like the idea of a quality, tiny travel brush.

When they say this brush is wee, they're not kidding. When I unboxed it, i couldn't believe just how small it really is it's about as big as my thumb, and my thumb is not that big. That being said, it is still a Simpson, and very well made. I have a Duke # 3 by Simpson and the wee is just as nice , just a lot smaller. I purchased this for travel but I wanted to try it at home first. I was skeptical at first , thinking how is this going to make a lather. I held it between my thumb ,index and middle finger and used a la toja shave stick and put the wee to my face and gave it a go. To my surprise , it started to make a lather! It went where no other brush had gone before. Lathered my lip without getting lather in my nose or mouth! I'm thinking, hey, this is pretty cool! It didn't shed any hair at all. I don't think I'd use this on a daily basis, but it will be a great fit in my tumi A2 toiletry kit. Can't wait to use it for my 10 day vacation. I'll update in a few months.UPDATE: September 30. I’ve had this wee for 2 months and was originally going to use it for travel with a shave stick. Well, I wanted to see haw it would perform with a cream, so I swirled it around in my AOS sandlewood jar and wow what a lather! The brush just exploded with cream. It’s one of the best brushes of ANY size. I’m putting in my regular rotation, it’s that good

This brush is amazing! I originally bought a cheap $12 badger brush/stand combo off amazon and thought it was terrible, I was considering not using a badger brush altogether after that. I came across this brush and saw good reviews and I liked how it was smaller, as I only shave my neck and cheek to keep a clean beard line. It works perfect for that, regular size brushs would have been way too big. With that said, if I ever started shaving my entire face, this would still be my go to badger brush. It whips up beautifully and is plenty big enough to do your whole face, not sure why you would need anything bigger to be honest. The more I use it, the better it performs. I lost a few hairs on the first 2-3 uses but after that it's been flawless. This would be the first brush I recommend to anyone who is a first timer to wet shaving, it's well worth the price! One thing to note, do not expect this to fit in the standard badger brush stands, it will be too small. That's okay for me as I don't want a stand sitting on my counter. I clean and dry my DE razor when done, put it in a $13 leather wrap/case I got on Amazin - rinse my badger brush, dry it by brushing it over a dry towel and then store out of sight. I was resistant to switching to DE shaving and a Badger Brush but I will NEVER go back! My neck no longer has ingrowns or any irritation.
